Reference books were dug out, and now. being burdened with football lore, we'll steal Ridin' Hurd's stuff to unburden. The athletic Greeks orlRinated football, the Romans carried it to England, and soccer football was the result. The birth of football as we know It was in Rugby. England, in 1823. During an interclass soccer game some spoil-sport got mad and grabbed the ball and ran with It. which is strictly against the soccer rules. Some of the more radical Eng lish lads saw the advantage of this however, and running with the ball was legalized in 1841. II was the birth of Rugby football. Tlie first American game was played in 18(19 when Rutgers de feated Princeton. This was a soc cer game. The' first Rugby was introduced In 1874 when McGlll of Canada plaved Harvard. The first half was soccer: they switched to Rugby for the second half. Yale and Harvard played a full Rugbv game the next year. Then the following year, 1876. five col leges formed a Rugby league. We can't pin It down for sure but this must have been the start of the Ivy League. The American game was stan dardized, with 11 players, in 1883. The biggest change after that came In 1906 when the rules com mittee legalized forward passing. The forward pass wasn't fully ac cepted until Ous Dorias and Knute Rockne of Notre Dame showed how to do It in 1913. That was a major fuming point in the technique of modern footbalL The most sensational American i ' TELLING THE EDITOR. FLX'OKIDES KLAMATH FALLS. Ore Please Mr Editor, would you advise me whether or not this could happen to us, now that we are all going to be fluoridated. It is related In Newsweek of May 14, 1951 that the herdsmen of the bucolic dalrylanrts near Provo. Utah. Ocean complaining that their Hols te ins were "looking poorly and acting aueeriy." bo two veterinary scientist trucked seven ailing beasts to Logan to see If they could determine what was causing the strange malady. To quote from Newsweek: "The pair found the lake - country bo nnes lapping cold water. They could slurp In normal fashion only when the water was heated to body temperature. Furthermore, the af flicted animals had great difficulty chewing hay. Inspection showed that the teeth of three-year-olds were as pitted as well-worn mo lars of fourteen-year old cattle. Be sides, the sick cows were lame, with thick, rough, and enlarged bone joints. "Chemical analysis led to a quick diagnosis: fluorosis. The bones and teeth were .5 to .8 pet cent lluorine; one part per million ts considered normal. "Meantime, the researchers buckled down to study the extent and distribution of fluorine In wa ter, soil, and air ol the Provo area and the effect of the chemi cal on vegetation and other live stock. Residents were Inclined to guess the fluorine flood might be coming from the Geneva steel plant near Provo or the stacks of tne Pacific Slates Cast Iron Pipe Co. at Ironton. Experts were not to sure, titeelmakuig elsewhere produced tio dangerous amounts of uuoruie, altliuugn an aluminum plant near Vancouver, Wash, had similany poisoned cattle." It was never quite determined by the experts just where the "fluorinaceous villain" was lo cated. To quote again from the same article. "The scientists had a warning for communities planning to put limited amounts of fluorine In reservoirs. Before taking ac tion, these communities should first "very carefully" assay the natural fluorine content of the wa ter, loodstuffs, and everything else that the people are likely to in gest. Otherwise unwary citizens might find themselves like the un happy cattle with aching mottled teeth, able to drink only heated water." I also wanted to know If It would be alright to send our dental bill to the City Council, in case any ol us should find ourselves "all mottled up" and unable to chew our hay? "Fluorldaceously" yra.

Twenty eight years ago Red Grange scored five touchdowns for Illinois against Michigan. Here's the wav he did It: Orange received' the opening klckoff on the 10-yard line and ran through the entire field for a touch down. Britton converted. Again Michigan kicked off to Grange, who fumbled and was downed on the 19-yard line. Michi gan took a kick, but lost the bail on downs on the nitnols 33. Orange ran his left end fpr a touchdown. Britton converted. Orange had now made 159 yards In two plays. After an exchange. Michigan kicked and stopped the ball on the Illinois 44. This time Grange ran around his right end for 56 yards and the touchdown. Britton missed the kick. 30-0. Another kickoff. a Michigan fum ble and Illinois recovered on Mich igan's 45. Orange ran around his right end for a touchdown. Brit ton converted; 37-0. Grange had carried the ball on five scrimmage plays and bad run for four touchdowns, all in the first period. Gallvan replaced Grange but. as John Carmichael of the Chicago Daily News remarked, that was just to keep 11 men on the field. Nobody ever replaced Red Grange They let Red Play in the third quarter again ana? he made the fifth touchdown. Thai was the. beginning of the end for the strategy of waiting for the breaks, getting a touchdown and defending It from then on.

Charlie MrFarlan SCHOOL REORGANIZATION KLAMATH FALLS With all def. erence to my good friend. Fred Peterson, I want to disagree with some of his statements In his letter regarding the Reorganization Bill. Measure 320 Is not a compulsory act; it Is merely an enabling meas ure to assist In and to huten re organization needed by many dis tricts throughout the state. The loss of funds he mentions consists only of possible "emergency funds" al located to districts that are in need but that are unwilling to consoli date and take advantage of the benelita of consolidation. I agree with Mr Peterson that the schools of Oregon are doing an excellent Job. However, much In equality exists in quality of teach ing, size ol classes, equipment, en richment of curriculum, much of which can be eliminated through larger units offering unified pro grams of Instruction of both ele mentary and secondary schools, at a saving to the tax-payer.

He is Ellis B. Alexander, also known as Giles Lloyd Dingus. The young man was arrested here Oct. 3 on a charge 'of ob taining property by fake pretenses a bad check charge, and after a few aays In jail he was releasea to military authorities for prose cution as an Army deserter. The bad check charge was put to the Grand Jury, however, and Alexander, under the name of Dingus, was indicted lor obtaining property bv false pretenses. FIGHT, AKKEST This week he appeared back In town, on a fivelav nax from Camp Stoneman, Calif., and be came embroiled In a fight Thurs day night for which he was ar rested by Cltv Police, under the name of Alexander. He was released on S35 bail and the bail was forfeited when he didn t show up in Municipal Court yesterday morning. Hearing Dingus or Alexander was in town. Deputy Sheriff Dal Keea went to a nouse wnere tne young man and his wife have been staying on Martin Street yesterday shortly after noon, and arrested him on a bench warrant Issued after the Indictment was returned. The prisoner aiked for a little time to get his clothes together before going to Jail, and went into the bedroom of the small house while Reed stayed near the kitchen where he could watch both the front door and back door. , FLIGHT I But. unbeknownst to the deputy. there was another door to the small I house, one off the bedroom. Reed didn't know that until he heard the jdoor slam, looked Into1 the bed I room and found Dingus gone. Reed made a Quick fcarch around the house and street, then called his office. City Police and State Police. For a time there was . a rrcular dragnet out for the i soldier.. Just before 2 p.m. Information , in obtained that the soldier's ' wife. Bonnie, had gone to the i North Entrance Motel, so police converged there, located the cabin : the woman was In and went In. j Bonnie was on the bed. and laid I she didn't know where her husband was.

Frank Lohn, chief-of the Internal Revenue Bureau's intelligence divi sion. In an Interview summing up a year s administration ot the law said It has brought In only a frac tion of the expected revenue, and has not materially reduced gam bling. The- government collected prob ably leas than nine million dollars In taxes, compared with congres sional estimates the take might be 400 million. And. Lohn said. Instead of being forced out of business, gamblers "have Just gone underground.' However, he added the law la a "deterrent to the gambling fratern ity." . -INDERGROUND Immediately after It went Into effect he aald there waa a large scale suspension of activity along with a dive underground. "We know of places where gam bling la still slowed up." Lohn add ed. Why hasn't the law worked? For one reason, the bureau hasn't enough men to enforce it, be said. Congress provided no extra money for additional person nel, and the bureau could apare only 100 men to tap the gambling world for taxes. Also, the Supreme Court has not yet ruled on whether the stamp tax Is constitutional. Last spring a fed eral Judge held It was not. Revenue ofliclala aay many gamblera be lieve the high court will overturn the law, and In the meantime they are not too afraid of violating it. CAI'SES The gambling tax law waa a by product of two things: I. The investigation oy tne crime committee of Sen. Estes Kelauver ID-Tenni, which put the finger on gambling as the big money artery of the underworld. 3. High uxes, which made tax paying citizens sensitive to reports that gamblers made big money but paid Utile or no taxes. Congre-t reacted with a double barreled law. It required gamblera to buy a UO-a-yesr occupational tax stamp, and lo pay an excise tax amounting to 10 per cent M their gross take. Gamblera reacted with hurt be wilderment. Payoffs, protection I money, donations to food works j all were alwaya part of a gambler's traditional overhead. But not Uxes. j Lohn sa d after the Initial large-1 scale dive underground, and aim-1 pension of activity, many gamblers 1 resumed operations, mainly unaer ground. ' Definitely, he said, the law has not stopped gambling, or cut ft , down to a small scale. 1 INTENTION ! Congress never said tt Intended , to knock out the gambling business. ; But the inference was plain be tween the lines of. the law. The law provided that gamblers 1 step up to Internal rtevenue 01 flces, atate their business, place of business. Income and outgo, and buy a gaming sump. The names of persons who bought gaming sumps were to be posted. Locai ByJimmy llatlo Din NTHl cnOAur ulMt- I!

Nothing would make thla column more popular than to announce lliat the writer had Die answer lo the common cold, and that by following aome simple directions it taking some easy remedy, reni ns could count on avoiding this annoying allllcltlon In the future. Peihapa the time lo make such a happy statement will come, but at present I ahull have lo remain In the doghouse. Scarcely a year goes by without Iho announcement of at len.it one new "wonder" cure for colds. Naturally, we are all so eager to find some way of getting rid of this miserable disorder that we are eager to believe the claims mixle fur piratically anything, In spile of the enormous number of "cold uiirm" on the market, the statement that "no substmioe or cnmblnat'on of aubstnucea avail able at the present can be relied on lo irciu or cure tin common cold" Mill holds true.
